Off topic is fun!!!If we just talk racing we would have fell asleep 3 years ago.

Correction: YOU would have. Other forum members who are equally valued prefer to read/discuss racing topics and don't like the OT nonsense. So IMHO Janine does quite a good job of balancing it all out, including the unfortunately necessary deletions and bandings of posts and posters that go over her line.

Thank you for speaking for all of us yet again...except me. I love OT, and prefer to call it what it is...derailing. Lighten up oh miserable one....just speak for yourself next time, if thats possible.

Count me in as well. Kindly speak for yourself HBTI couldnt agree with you less. Why not just toss anyone who posts a non racing topic ? Thanks for calling it like it is Soho

I actually spoke for many posters who don't like the nastiness, fights, and obscenity. You guys think you're the only ones here, or maybe the stars of the show?

There's nothing wrong with humor or OT threads per se, and Janine doesn't delete those. The topic, however, was how many pages there would be if there were no deletions, and its unlamented garbage that bothers lots of other posters that gets deleted. Deservedly, in my personal opinion.

There you go again. Why would you say I think Im one of the only one's here ? You have to right to make that claim. You have absolutely no idea what I think

Why would off topic stuff possibly bother you ? If it does, don't read it. I use no obscenity here ever. Nor do I think Im the star of any show. I have opinions like you or anyone else.

Just who are "us guys " anyway ? Can I get the full list of us hoodlums ? Im sure you have it handy.

Then y.dont they start a thread instead of complaining about it?

Maybe they just don't like the poster and haven't taken their milkamagnesa

Because obviously you (as a group, not you personally, I mean) don't care what Janine's rules or standards are and have been for many years, and you don't care about alienating and driving off posters who came here for actual horse racing discussion.

I know how you (the group) act.

I don't give a crap about OT material per se, but the question I replied to was the question of how many pages there would be without deletions, so obviously (to most, at any rate) what I'm talking about is what got deleted.

If it does, don't read it.

That's a great idea. So can we agree you and all others keep it out of meaningful discussions instead of constantly derailing those, so I will NOT have to read it?

Then I'm guessing you have probably had very few posts deleted for that reason, and the obscenity charge isn't really about you.

The ones always whining about having their great thoughts (read: nasty insults) deleted by Janine, as in the difference between 1000 pages and 4500. If that's not you, then you can bow out, because I'm not talking about you.

Ah. "Sense of humor." That's what the insults, nastiness, obscenity, and libel that Janine deletes is called.

You're right, that's some funny stuff right there.

Some is tasteless and classless, sure.. There seems to be a lot of feuds going on here. If anyone has a real problem with anyone and it upsets them they should just click ignore and be done with it. Going into diatribes about other ppl's conduct is a waste of time, you're not gonna change anything or more importantly anyone. Ultimately I would like th ability to decide if I want to read jokes n off color humor mixed in w/ racing talk and occasionally by itself! I enjoy it. If you don't you know who to ignore for the most part- that simple. Going on and on about how big of an ***hole someone else is is passive aggressive fighting even if they "started" it.. You can be done with it if you want to be. If you enjoy engaging in feuds than I'm not gonna stop you from doing it. I think it's pointless but I'm not about trying to stop others from enjoying things that I don't particularly care for. Call me a Liberterian- not to be confused with "The Liberteriann" of Northfield (obscure NFLD horse reference)
